The studio coughed up $500,000 against $850,000 for the script just a day after 1492 prexy Michael Barnathan brought it to Fox exec VP Jorge Saralegui. New Line Cinema also was in the running for the project.

“Boys,” described as “The First Wives Club” meets “Risky Business,” tells the hijinx of a group of women who start a bordello out of one of their homes.

1492 veepee Jennifer Blum is credited with discovering the script and bringing it into the company.
